Northern Stars tells the dramatic story of a Chartist March from Todmorden in West Yorkshire to London in 1839 seen through the eyes of two children aged ten and twelve. Ruth and Joshua Midgeley, ruthlessly thrown out of work, join a mass meeting on Todmorden market addressed by Feargus O’Connor the charismatic leader of the Chartist movement and publisher of the Northern Star newspaper. Together with their father and six other marchers from Todmorden they witness the break up by the soldiers of a mass meeting in Manchester and participate in a dangerous walk over Kinder Scout in Derbyshire to escape the military. They see the arrest of their father and others in Nottingham, arrive in London only to get arrested themselves and thrown into goal in Bow Street while the mass march supporting the Charter is charged by cavalry. On the way Ruth and Joshua meet children of their own age all caught up in dramatic situations in Manchester, Nottingham and London, and all victims of the incredible speed of industrialisation. They finally get back to Todmorden but are determined never to work as slave labour in the mills again.
The author began writing with the intent of creating a love story. She starts out using her real life story and struggles and thought of embellishing the final chapter to make a happy ending of her own. In an unforeseen turn of events, God changes and directs the final chapter to make it a real life happy ending.

Hauntingly beautiful Perry McLain is desperate to escape the powerful Union Army captain who pursues her, seeking vengeance for her rebellion. Yet, her vow to save the handsome Hunter Kirkland plunges her deep into enemy territory—and into the tortuous flames of desire. To Hunter, weak with fever, Perry is nothing but an alluring dream visiting him in the darkness, a sultry vision he could embrace only in the heat of his own imagination. Yet the memory of her warm caresses refuses to fade in the morning light. He doesn’t realize that underneath the dirt-caked, boyish clothes of his daytime companion is the body of the woman whose nighttime passion he craves.

Reeling from the tragedy that beset her family, Princess Aurelia has joined the resistance in Havenspur, spying on the Northern leaders who were once her allies and determined to stop her uncle’s machinations for war.
